SB 127 - Criminal Law - Possession of Marijuana - Criminal Threshold

The ACLU of Maryland urges a favorable report on SB 127, which would raise from 10 grams to 1 ounce, the threshold amount of marijuana for which possession is a civil offense.  While the Maryland General Assembly has begun to reform the laws related to marijuana possession, there is more work to do.  We support this bill’s efforts to further reverse the harmful effects of the failed war on drugs.
